Yeah, I can understand that. You are overcome being my the presence of my greatness!! :p Happens all the time!! :D

Now OVM, think about, how could I NOT respect myself? I mean, after all, I am just SO COOL!! :p

I don't know if those units sitting unsold for a while is a sign that they are not making money or just that people are afraid in today's economy to lay out large chunks of cash. It is always a good thing to examine where your are at in life and determine if changes are needed. We do that all...

You are right Phil. I meant from OUR point of view, not theirs. It is clear that our feelings or issues on this matter are not being looked at in any real way. We can all be replaced.

Yeah, when we get to 5 million in the bank we will quit!! :rolleyes: Two more loads otta do it!! :p

I represent FDCC as long as I have those decals on my truck. I represent me all the time no matter what I am doing. I owe FDCC a certain amount of "due" as long as I am leased to them. I expect that all carriers would like someone that represents them as well as them selves.

Our attitude is as follows: FedEx Custom Critical is the best expediting company in the country and we are the best team that FDCC has!! That is how to project and act when on the job. Do you BEST!!

Ah, Cartman. Now talk about REAL!!! I don't like TV things about as much as I don't like movie quotes. Cartoon people are my least favorite. They are far too close to being like our politicians.

We often run at that rpm range, it works best on flat land. That is close to a shift point and if it is too hilly it shifts far to much. I will then kick it up just a touch to get it past that. I am looking into having my shift points changed.

I would not anyone working for me in any job/business that did not have a professional attitude no matter what their position was. I demand that of myself and expect it from all others that have worked for me. Taking pride in ones self and how you do your job or run your business is one of the...

We have a reefer truck so we transport illegal aliens during slow time!! :p

It does seem that way sometimes. I would think that they may wish to rethink this system somewhat. It is causing problems.

I keep close track of my MPG. Loss of MPG is one sign of problems with the truck so we watch it like a hawk. We run between 55-63 mph. That is in the 1200-1400 rpm range.

Not until they change how they dispatch. I cannot afford those acceptance levels. Under the old system I was around 75-80% I shudder to think how low it is now. I just get far too many really "stupid" offers these days that I am just not going to take.

Why would a team take a load under 650? How about $450 for two blocks? Or, maybe the one that went 3 miles and paid over $2000? OR..................... It is NOT the miles. It is the overall pay package. Time vs. miles, vs. pay and including the "hassle factor". Everything comes into play when...

We just recently saw a DSxxxx sprinter in California. That was 3 or 4 months ago. We never did see the driver to talk with them. There is at least on local DRxxxx unit that I know of. He lives near Harrisburg, PA. He works just in that area, NYC, etc. Says he does quite well too. He runs solo...

We went for breakfast. Yeah, we have a life, small one for sure, but we do have one!! :D

Strange things do happen to say the least. We too have been "passed over" for loads that according to the "system" we should have be put on them. One in particular comes to mind. We had a less than 75 and was about 25 miles from the pick up. The load was for a Monday and the dispatch was on...

Good morning to you too you old "pot stirring" person you!! :p It is a very humid heat here. Rain, thunder etc. Does it surprise you that we are in bed with communist nations? I mean, really, Barry is their blood brother!! :eek: He believes in their style of total control government. Bet he...

Iraqi forces? Yeah right. Kurds? Not nearly enough. Iran has AT LEAST 500,000 combat troops. Suicidal? Could be. Unstable without a doubt. It is a nation headed for a train wreck. It is in bed with a nation (Russia) that is trying to return to it's nasty days, you remember, 25 million murdered.
